the answer to the first question is three. then some one opened a soda n ice cream shop in one of the houses between leos n wheelers. then there was the telephone switch board office in the old hotel. my mother was one of the young operators that said , number please.

Funny I only remember Alice Kieffer being an operator. Remember Greenwood-5656? OR just the last four numbers and how we had lessons on how to use dial phones at the school when they were finally brought into town? OR having someone else be on your phone line? Having to wait your turn on the phone? I remember at one time there were like 3 numbers you could dial on your phone and have your own phone ring. We used it as an intercom system.
ReplyDeleteNow how about the Post Office. When you could address a letter to Michael Hummer or Willam Sanderson BORO. And they actually got their mail. Not only them but those living out of town who used our post office. How about them bananans? NO ZIP CODES, NO NADA. Just Boro LOL
That soup at the church would cook for three days. Every day when you CAME HOME FOR LUNCH from school you would smell that soup cooking. Everyday you'd wonder if today was the day you were having that SOUP!! Thanks Mildred Crisman!!! You will always be remembered as the original SOUP LADY!! But I could be mistaken on that. It may have began with her mother, Mrs. Apgar. I hope someone will straighten me out if it did begin with her.
